Our elected machinery
Rules without law and expects us to follow law
They protect their selfish interest
Instead of citizen's selfless interest
Convince me you are not mad
Our religious leaders
Preaches what's good
But does what's bad
Pretending to be link to God
But far from God's ways
Tell me you ain't mad
Our rich capitalist
Scriptures has in it that the rich
Are created because of the poor
Your existence is no doubt
At the expense of the poor
And you would deny you ain't mad
Our security personnel
Their harassments on street
Is second to none
I should be safe when I see them
I become unsafe when I see them
How would you live like you ain't mad
Our nation's youths
Wanting to be rich
In the blink of an eye
Sees irrationalities as models
And blame like they ain't dirty
Madness is no doubt in you.
Our trading traders
Why do you make life unbearable
You get goods at minimal price and
Sell at exorbitant price
Must I always bargain?
Insanity is in your blood
Our white-collar jobbers
You see merits but embrace demerits
No uprightness in your dealings
All because you want shealings
You are running a spoilt system
Rash folly of the blatant order
Our working workmen
You tell which is quality
I gave money of high quantity
You purchased low quality
With fund of low quantity
What a madness you have shown
Our Nation's teachers
You should be nation's blessings
Touring and teaching in the right path
You engage and teach negativity
Expecting greater result of legibility
What a mental disengagement!
Studying students
You prepare not and blame the system
For your foul failure
Cut corners for shortcuts
Forgetting it a deep cut
You are insane
Kids!
Live an upright life
So you won't be mad like them
Because you ain't mad yet.
